Nope, that not Revise (no surprise)

```julia-repl
(jl_50415E) pkg> add Revise@3.5.2
   Installed Revise ─ v3.5.2
(jl_50415E) pkg> add SpecialFunctions
  [276daf66] + SpecialFunctions v2.3.1
# works fine here too

```

By the way, we have the same standard `LOAD_PATH`:

```julia
julia> LOAD_PATH
3-element Vector{String}:
 "@"
 "@v#.#"
 "@stdlib"

```

So it looks like something became corrupt on your system.  
You might want to try to remove and add the registry again  
(from [Pkg cannot find registered packages - #2 by fredrikekre](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pkg-cannot-find-registered-packages/54008/2))

```julia
# Remove
rm(joinpath(DEPOT_PATH[1], "registries", "General"); force=true, recursive=true)
# Add
import Pkg
Pkg.Registry.add("General")

```

But that probably won’t be sufficient.  
Otherwise, you can try this ?
